#Whitby Detectives investigating a serious assault in Whitby are appealing for information and urging witnesses to come forward. Incident 2 It occurred on the A171 at Whitby Bridge, at 2.45am on Tuesday 29 October 2013, involving two local men. As a result of the incident, a 21-year-old Whitby man, suffered an injury to his neck. He was treated at Scarborough District Hospital before being released later the same day (Tuesday 29 October). A 21-year-old man, also from Whitby, was arrested at the scene, on suspicion of wounding with intent. He is currently in police custody. Police officers and dogs carried out a search of the area. They recovered a weapon believed to have been discarded by the suspect. DC Phil Nockels, of Scarborough CID, said: Thankfully, the injuries suffered by the victim are not life threatening. However, the incident could have led to far more serious consequences. I know that there were a number of people in the area, at the time of the assault, who have not yet contacted the police. I ask that they come forward straight away, as they may have vital information that could help this investigation. Anyone who can help officers with this enquiry is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2 and ask for Phil Nockels. Alternatively, information can be emailed to [email protected]. Or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111, quoting reference number 12130187647.
